IF you have not already viewed this amazing dvd heres what you've been missing .
To celebrate th 50th anniversary of the fender stratocaster, in Sept 2004 at Wembly arena England the strat pack concert was organized to raised money for the Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy charity. The list of players includes ...David Gilmour..Joe Walsh..Hank Marvin..Albert Lee..Ronnie Wood..The Crickets (Buddy Holly's Band).. Brian May...Paul Rogers..Gary Moore..and many others... the dvd includes interviews with various artists talking about their strats , 1st strats etc .. but the performances were absolutely brilliant... 1st up the Crickets , Buddy Holly's original band joined on stage by Albert Lee and Brian May for rousing renditions of peggy sue..maybe baby..i fought the law..oh boy .. and that'll be the day where the band was joined by Ronnie Wood , and yep Brian May played a strat a 58 3 tone burst reissue , amazing ,...Garry Moore did a insane version of Hendrix's Red House ..Hank Marvin who was almost single handedly responsible for the introduction of the strat in great britan and europe , played his killer instrumental twang filled classics , sleepwalk and apache .. Joe Walsh rocked the arena with funk 49, life's been good, life in the fastlane and rocky mountain way..the boy can indeed play ..
The highlight of the concert for me was David Gilmour taking the stage with his serial #001 strat , yep the 1st one ., he did .marooned, coming back to life,and sorrow , amazing set with the house band .. Gilmour reaffirmed the fact that he is one of the best players if not the best player on the planet ,
The overall audio and video quality of the dvd is excellent and just the shots of all the vintage amps and guitars are worth the price of admission.. 6S9L
